Ayetian drops 16-track mixtape ‘JamPack’

If there’s one thing Ayetian isn’t interested in, it’s staying in one lane. The Jamaican-Haitian star has unleashed JamPack, a 16-track mixtape that expands the world he’s been building over the last few years.

“From gyal tunes and hard-hitting dancehall cuts to records built for the fête, the streets, and late-night reflection, JamPack captures every side of Ayetian without ever losing the authenticity that has made him one of dancehall’s fastest-rising voices,” Paul Thom, Caribbean entertainment publicist, told Caribbean Life. “For Ayetian, the mission wasn’t to chase different genres. It was to create one body of work driven by feeling and energy that reflects the full spectrum of the Caribbean. 

“From dancehall and trap dancehall to bouyon, soca, hip hop, and melodic records, JamPack moves effortlessly between sounds without ever losing its identity,” he added. “Every rhythm, collaboration, and switch-up reflects the cultures that shaped him growing up in Montego Bay. 

“Rather than organizing the mixtape by genre, Ayetian lets the energy lead,” Thom continued. “Whether listeners want to dance, bruk out, ride through the city, or slow things down and reflect, JamPack meets them where they are, creating a project where every listener can find their moment.”

Thom said that same vision shapes the mixtape’s collaborations. 

He said Ky-Mani Marley, Kodak Black, Stefflon Don, Skillibeng, Tony Mix, and longtime collaborator Nvtzz don’t appear simply to check boxes. 

“Each artist brings a different energy, helping Ayetian tell a bigger story about the Caribbean while staying true to the raw authenticity that defines his music,” Thom said. “The journey begins with an intimate exchange between Ayetian and his mother before launching into ‘Bob Marley’ featuring Ky-Mani Marley, where he confidently stakes his claim as a Gen Z voice ready to carry the culture forward in his own way.”

He said “Jamatian” serves as a declaration of identity, embracing both the Jamaican and Haitian flags while celebrating the one-of-one perspective that has become Ayetian’s signature. 

Thom said one of the mixtape’s standout moments arrives with “Miami Vice,” “a slick, groove-heavy anthem inspired by the city’s fast life and deep Caribbean influence, particularly its Haitian roots.”

Elsewhere, he said “Scale Tip Ova” showcases some of Ayetian’s sharpest deejay work to date, while “T-Pot” flips Super Beagle’s classic “Dust a Sound Boy” into one of the project’s “wildest, most high-energy records.”

“The gyal tunes hit just as hard,” Thom said. “’FYAH’ turns up the heat with undeniable chemistry, while ‘Gih Yuh Some’ featuring Skillibeng and ‘My Girl’ featuring Stefflon Don showcase Ayetian’s versatility without losing the swagger that runs through the entire mixtape.”
